Hunters Season 2 Ending Explained: What Happened To Hitler? What Happened to Travis? Prime Video Series

Hunters Season 2 Ending Explained: This is what the series Hunters Season 2 is about, which recently arrived on Amazon Prime Video. Productions that mix fiction with reality is quite interesting. Last week, for example, we talked about a film that imagines the period when writer Edgar Allan Poe was at the Military Academy in the United States. Today, we are going to talk about a much broader and better-known period of history: Nazism. The production shows the story of a group of Nazi hunters who seek the grand prize of their careers: the “head” of Hitler, the supreme leader of the Nazi regime that until today represents one of the greatest stains in human history. Jonah and the other members of his group join new allies to hunt down the great villain of history, who they discovered was more alive than ever – contrary to what was imagined.

In this publication, we will observe what happens in this story and try to understand a little of the intention of the screenwriters. Travis intends to become Hitler’s successor and continue the plan of the Fourth Reich, but it is here that the authorities and hunters manage to catch the war criminal again, who is led to a German prison cell where he will spend the rest of his life being known simply by a number. Dying would have been a luxury that does not belong to him: living in pri and ignominy is a much worse sentence for Hitler. Jonah is hit in the firefight, but it is Joe’s intervention that ensures the success of the operation.

Hunters Season 2 Ending Explained: A Trial for Hitler? What Happened To Hitler?

Travis, however, managed to escape and is still at large. After receiving a medal of valor for his prowess, Jonah seems to have left his life as a hunter behind him when he weds Clara. During their honeymoon in Miami, however, it becomes clear that the boy has chosen that destination because he is on the trail of another German war criminal who is hiding in Miami. His mission will never abandon him, this is now clear. Jonah cannot forget, moreover, that Ruth was killed by Heinz thanks to Meyer, who had learned that Ruth knew of her true identity as Lupo.

The third season of the TV series will not be made – last November Amazon confirmed that the eight episodes debuting on February 13 would also be the last, for the saga of Nazi hunters, although creator David Weil recently admitted that he has in mind the idea of ​​chronicling Jonah’s life in the decades following the season 2 finale.

A Trial for Hitler? What Happened To Hitler?

The leader of Nazi Germany is entitled to a fair trial, which makes our protagonists fearful, as there are still many Nazi sympathizers in society. The big fear is that the prosecution will not be able to prove Hitler’s crimes and that he will be released. However, the fear comes to an end when the prosecution uses Hitler’s ego against him and makes him confess everything in the deposition. He is sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison, without the possibility of parole – which leads him to accept his fate and even try to take his own life.

But Hitler’s stay on Earth makes human beings deal with a problem: his followers remain active and hopeful that he will return to reign with his authoritarian ideas. One of these followers is Travis, who, alongside Eva Braun, the dictator’s wife, manages to free their supreme leader. But their goal is to inherit Hitler’s power. She plans to kill her husband and dispose of his body right then and there to become the leader of the regime. However, she is murdered by Travis, who before being able to rise to power is reached by hunters and the police, who throw Hitler in prison to serve his sentence.

An Alternate Timeline?

In his cell, Hitler is faced with a prison guard, who addresses him only by a number and shoves food into his room a scene that has a philosophical and conceptual background. Most likely, the writers wanted to convey the idea of ​​what the real Hitler ending should have been like. Instead of killing himself as an easy way out, Hitler should have been forced to face his crimes like the rest of the world, spending the rest of his life in prison. In the end, he was reduced to just a number, similar treatment to his regime’s treatment of millions of people in concentration camps. Stripped of his name and his identity – two things that made him extremely proud – Hitler thus tastes a little of his own medicine, thus becoming a numbered prisoner for the rest of his life.

What Happened to Travis?

The protagonists of Hunters Season 2 constantly reflect on the nature of their actions—what separates them from the people they are hunting. When we talk about the antagonists, however, their ambitions and intentions are very well defined, especially that of Travis, who likes to live in darkness and wants the world to be in it too. A favorite of the Colonel in the first season, in the second he shows an enormous commitment to the Nazi cause, willing to do whatever it takes to become Hitler’s great successor – no matter whom he has to kill to get what he wants (as he did with Eve). The boy is the exact portrait of Hitler as a young man, while still being the representation of neo-Nazis in the world today, with a blind belief that was fed and created by various sources. People like Travis are a danger to the world, a threat, and the possibility of repeating the worst moments of history.

A Counterpoint?

While he is the epitome of Hitler, he is the polar opposite of Jonah, who knows that being a hunter means demanding justice. What began with the capture of her grandmother’s killer soon expanded into the fight for justice for the millions of people killed and tortured under the Nazi regime. Jonah faithfully believed that Hitler would be his final mission and that he would retire after the capture of the villain. However, after it happens, he realizes that the work is not over yet, since there will always be a Nazi around the corner trying some nefarious plot with his racist and authoritarian ideas.

In the last scene of the series, Jonah and Clara are in Honeymoon and Miami, which indicates that he has finally retired. However, the trip was not a simple choice of vacation for the protagonist, who is following another Nazi and continues with his mission and his busy life as a hunter. This was to be expected, as Hitler did not commit all the atrocities of Nazism alone. He simply gave the orders. Other people were responsible for executing them and are still alive out there, which prevents hunters from finishing their work and retiring. Since Travis manages to get away in the end, there’s a possibility this could be the thread of a future season. Would he be the biggest villain in the continuation of the story? Will we have all the answers that weren’t answered on Monday? Let’s wait.
